Customizing Boot Up Screen on Raspberry Pi

This is a steps to customize Raspberry Pi’s boot up screen, specifically to change the splash image and remove unwanted images and texts. By default, Raspbian Jessie Desktop displays below during boot up before starting desktop GUI.

By following the steps below, we’ll remove (1)-(4) and (6), then replace the default splash image with whatever you want to display at (5).

Assumption:
You should have your own splash image somewhere. In the steps below, assuming that the file name of the splash image is “my_splash.png” and it’s located home directory. (i.e. “~/my_splash.png”)

Here are the steps:
